I would like ask if “The Internet Big Five” is your idea and if so, how did you came up with it. I am trying to find an alternative to Schmidt’s “Gang of four”, which would include Microsoft. Thank you very much for reply.

This is really just expanding on Manfredi’s idea — (see what I did there, Apple? Gave credit where credit was due). I imagine this could be easily accomplished on an open platform (which i advocate), but even on a closed platform, as long as Apple lets developers build apps specifically for the watch, it could work.

I think Android support would be amazing, but is a long-shot.

I worry about the comfort of a large, glass watch. The watch would need to be quite wide to have the ideal functionality and screen size. This could make the watch heavy and bothersome.

Lastly, I echo your thoughts on durability. My metal watch is quite scratched up from standard wear and tear over a few years. If it were glass, I would have shattered it several times by now.

Isn’t Apple just trying to control a better user experience…I don’t find anything uniquely better on open platforms.
